In our case, it was a check done to make sure the executable hadn't been
damaged or corrupted in transport. That code was not sophisticated enough to
understand a signature.

I'm not sure this can fairly be categorized as an enhancement request. The
Mono tool leaves the checksum invalid and the corresponding Microsoft tools
correct the checksum (or zero it, I actually didn't specifically check
which).

Zero is a perfectly valid PE checksum value, and it indicates that no
checksum is present. Having the Mono tool zero the checksum would solve my
issue.
